A&M-Texarkana Presents Companion Planting and Container Gardening

The Bowie County Master Gardeners and Texas A&M University-Texarkana will present a program titled “Companion Planting and Container Gardening” on Monday, May 14 on the A&M-Texarkana campus. The class, which is free and open to the public, will be held from 6PM until 8PM in Room 306 of the Science and Technology Building.

According to a press release, the program will feature two parts. The first, which covers companion planting, will advise gardeners on which types of plants grow well together and which types do not. There will also be a discussion about how certain types of plants can deter some household pests. The second portion of the presentation will feature a presentation on container gardening. Container gardening is a less labor intensive way to garden, while also allowing for creativity and flexibility in what to use as a planter.
